Earlier this year Angus and I sat down and wrote up a list of all the places we want to visit in Victoria. Some of them we want to visit on our own, some we want to take William (our 3yo son) to. It ended up being titled "our ultimate Victorian to-do list". And this is a chronicle of our ultimate Victorian Adventure. We're hoping to get everything checked off by the end of the year, and all things going well we should be able to get the majority done at least.
This is our list, it is a work in progress. Places may (and probably will be!) added to it over the year. Many places that have been suggested to us aren't listed as we have already visited them.
